The markup shows 472 reviews. But, in SERP, only 1 review count is shown. Can someone advice?
SERP results
I agree with unor. Your many separate types Product contradict Google’s Guide for Product:
There are two types of pages where you would typically use this
markup: a product page that describes a single product a shopping
aggregator page that lists a single product, along with information
about different sellers offering that product
And further:
Use markup for a specific product, not a category or list of products.

I'm doing the SEO for an e-commerce platform.
The product detail page is already optimized, but there's also an overview of product categories.
Here's a wireframe of the category page:
The images within the yellow box are products applied to the active category cat 1.
Do you have any suggestions or hints for the use of Schema.org on the category section (cat1 - cat4) page?
I use List for category sites to enable a carousel of lists to appear in Search.
Can anyone bring closer the difference between categories and tags in tx_news to me?
So far I have used only categories for the news section. for example, improve the internal filter by organizers or venue.
In the meantime about 130 categories have gathered.
How can I use meaningful tags?
It is hard to differ because it always depends as well on the use case as well but I will try.
Categories
Categories are shown as a tree structure, therefore a category has
always a parent category (if it is not a root category) and categories
on the same level. Categories can be translated.
Tags
Tags are not sorted at all. Tags can not be translated currently (patch pending).
Example
Imagine a news website with typical categories like Sport, Web and Politics. Those categories can have sub categories to get a tree like that
Sport
- Baseball
- Basketball
Web
- IT
- Trends
Politics
- Party 1
- Party 2
Tags can now be used to add additional information which can be then used later for filtering, creating landing pages, .... Those tags could be
viral trend
christmas
winners
You could add as many tags as you want, just as hashtags you are used at twitter or facebook, instagram, ...
I'm adding Schema.org (using Microdata) to a product page. My client wants the price omitted for sold products - she doesn't want anyone to be able to see the price of sold products.
However this was showing up as an error in the Microdata for 'price': check page in Google SDTT
Obviously the average user will still not be able to see the price, but it's used by Google Shopping so might show up.
Should I just put a price of 0?
It’s perfectly fine to have an Offer without a price.
If Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool complains, it does not necessarily mean that you have an error in your Microdata or Schema.org. In your case Google’s error message just means:
If you don’t provide a price, we won’t be able to show our Products rich result for your product.
The point of this rich result is showing their users data about your product, including its price. If you don’t have a price, there is no point for Google to display it. Don’t provide a fake price (like 0), just omit the price property. Otherwise you convey that your product has a price (in case of 0, that the product is gratis), which would be misleading.
I have multiple aggregate ratings snippets in one page.
Is there a way to make one of them the default one? The one that will be displayed in the results of Search Engines?
Thanks all!
Update:
That webpage is, essentially, the page of a Brand.
It contains the aggregate ratings of the Reviews of the Brand and a list of its products (with aggregate rating for each product).
Of course the link is like www.site.com/brand, so the main aggregate rating have to be the Brand one.
It is not possible to directly denote which entity should be used for purposes like Rich Snippets.
But you can try it indirectly, by denoting what the page is about (what consumers, like Google Search, do with this information is up to them).
In your case, the page seems to be about the brand. Not sure if you are really using Brand, but this type misses some essential properties, so here I’m using Organization (which can have a Brand via the brand property).
You might have something like this:
Product → manufacturer → Organization
Product → aggregateRating → AggregateRating
Organization → aggregateRating → AggregateRating
By specifying what the current page is about, consumers might deduce which Rich Snippet (or similar) to show. Currently this can be done with the about property:
WebPage → about → Organization
So consumers might understand that this is a page about the organization, so the organization’s rating is more relevant than the ratings of the organization’s products.
In the next Schema.org version, we get two new properties:
mainEntity (draft): "Indicates the primary entity described in some page or other CreativeWork."
mainEntityOfPage (draft): "Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described."
So then you could specify that the brand‘s AggregateRating is the main entity. However, I’d still say that not the rating should be the main entity, but the brand/organization.
About a month ago we implemented Rich Snippets on the product detail pages for our e-commerce site (example).
We used the http://schema.org/ syntax for the structured data, as it seems to be the route Google are taking moving forward.
The data appears to be correct in the Rich Snippet Testing Tool and the data has started to appear in Google Webmaster Tools.
However the data is still to be seen on the SERP.
We have followed the rich data guide on Google to the letter and still no results. Is this a case of just waiting?
Here is an additional piece of information that is making it all the more puzzling, we initially went with a Microformats implementation and within 24 hours the data started showing up on the SERP. However we moved away from this because the Schema.org approach seemed a better bet.
I suppose it is one of the reasons explained in my Wiki post at
http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/FFAQ#Why_is_Google_not_showing_rich_snippets_for_my_pages.3F
While that one refers to GoodRelations markup, the situation should be the same for schema.org.

If you have added GoodRelations (manually or via a shop extension module) to your shop and still do not get rich snippets in Google search results, this can have one of the following reasons:
Google has not yet re-crawled your page or pages. Google dedicates just a limited amount of crawling time to a site, depending on its global relevance. It may be that Google has simply not yet re-indexed your page. Wait 2 - 8 weeks ;-)
The markup is invalid. Try the Google Validator. If that shows a rich snippet in the preview, you may just have to wait 4 - 12 weeks until Google will notice and white-list your pages. If it does not show a rich snippet, you either do not have valid GoodRelations markup in the page, you are missing properties that Google requires (e.g. gr:validThrough for prices), the price of the item has expired, or you use markup for which Google does not show rich snippets. Currently, Google shows snippets only for products and offers.
Google cannot see that your page changed. Your XML sitemap (http://example.com/sitemap.xml or similar) does not contain a lastmod attribute or the lastmod attribute was not updated after you added GoodRelations/schema.org. This attribute is important for crawlers to notice which pages need to be reindexed.
Low ranking of your item pages. Your item pages have a low ranking and what you see in your Google results are category pages or other pages summarizing multiple items. GoodRelations shop extensions add markup only to the "deep" item pages, because those are best for rich snippets. Use the title / product name of one of your products and restrict the Google search to your site with the additional statement site:www.example.com.
